Football clubs with the most fans arrested and banned last season revealed – is your team on the list?

THE football clubs with the worst-behaved fans have been revealed in a shocking new league of shame.

Damning figures show the English clubs that have the highest number of supporters arrested and banned last season.

Following Covid, the number of arrests and bans at football matches has spiked to levels last seen in the 2013/14 season.

Some 682 bans were issued last season - the most for more than 12 years after possession of Class A drugs like cocaine was added to the list of offences.

Football banning orders are issued by courts lasting five years for offences including violence, pitch invasions, and booze-related behaviour.

Manchester United fans had the most football banning orders, with 69.

Second was Millwall, third Leicester City, fourth Birmingham City, and fifth West Ham United.

The team with the highest number of arrests was West Ham United, with 89 people arrested - 69 per cent at London Stadium.

Second was Manchester United with 83 arrests, 49 per cent at Old Trafford.

Third was Leeds United with 69 arrests with 43 per cent of them at home.

Manchester City came in fourth on the table, Spurs in fifth, and Arsenal in sixth.

The most common offences were violent disorder and public disorder.

Over the last nine years, alcohol-related offences have reduced from 25 per cent to nine per cent.

Banning orders showed some of the traditional hooligan firms.

The Premier League had one of the lower arrest rates out of competitions played in England at 4.3 arrests per 100,000 people.

The highest number of arrests at a domestic competition was the FA Cup with 6.4 arrests per 100,000.

But the highest number of arrests was at international matches, with a whopping 13.5 arrests per 100,000 attendees.

Football hooligans will be all-but banned from leaving Britain during the Euros this summer.

Fresh laws imposed from today will force more than 1,600 yobs to surrender their passports to the police from June 4 until the tournament ends.

Anyone who fails to comply - or tries to travel to Germany or any countries en route to the host nation - faces six months in jail for severe offences or an unlimited fine.

Policing Minister Chris Philp last night said: “Violence, abuse, and disorder have no place in the game we love.

“The vast majority of fans are law-abiding, but we will have zero tolerance for those who disrupt this incredible event.

“These measures will ensure true football fans can travel to the tournament safely and prevent hooligans from committing these crimes abroad.”

The travel crackdown applies to the 1,624 people in England and Wales who currently have a football banning order.

During the month-long Euros - which kicks off on June 14 - the sanctioned hooligans can only go abroad with the explicit permission of the Football Banning Orders Authority.

Cops will also get new powers to intercept other known louts threatening to cause chaos.

Possession of Class A drugs amounted to 9 per cent of all bans last year after being made a banning offence, on par with alcohol offences.
